hannukah harry, then the same would apply to flipping a coin since each flip is independent.

That doesn't make any sense because you're saying you have a 50% chance of flipping heads 5 times in a row, and that's not true.

[edit]
I'll write a program later on to simulate the method. I'll make an array for the 36 numbers along with 0 and 00 and I'll have the computer randomly pick between them.

Every 5th one, I'll have it perform the betting method I explained above and I'll run it through 100,000 times or so and see how often it comes out ahead.
